function like = pr_like(b,y,x)
% PURPOSE: evaluate probit log-likelihood
%-----------------------------------------------------
% USAGE:    like = pr_like(b,y,x,flag) 
% where:     b = parameter vector (k x 1)
%            y = dependent variable vector (n x 1)
%            x = explanatory variables matrix (n x m)
%-----------------------------------------------------
% NOTE: this function returns a scalar
